An Indonesian volcano sent lava and smoke thousands of feet into the air on Thursday, June 14, sending panicked residents fleeing the area as hot lava cascaded down the slopes. According to disaster management agency official Brian Rulrone, the first eruption of Mt Lokon occurred at 10:46 p.m. It was preceded by a second, more powerful blast just after midnight and a third at 1:10 a.m.

There were no reports of casualties, though one woman died of a heart attack in the chaos.
